People: Our Most Valuable Resource
People are at the heart of everything we do. By empowering individuals to reach their full potential, we help build stronger, more resilient communities and create lasting change. Our efforts focus on four key areas: advancing education through public school initiatives and scholarships; protecting the environment through conservation initiatives; supporting enterprise with workforce development and second chance opportunities; and enriching communities through investments in public safety resources and essential local programs.
Disaster Response & Recovery
Georgia-Pacific is committed to supporting first responders in our local communities and providing essential products in areas recovering from natural disasters.
THE Four E's
Our team members volunteer their time, skills and energy across four impactful pillars of philanthropy - our Four E’s.
Education
Lifelong learning is the key to unlocking potential. We support results-driven education for people of all ages. At public schools, this includes initiatives to improve literacy, help teachers expand their skills and inspire students in public schools to learn about STEM. Our scholarships and training opportunities offer continued paths to discover, develop and achieve new possibilities.
Enterprise
Advancing collaboration and partnership with employees, Koch companies, and affiliate organizations is essential for uplifting society. By fostering active engagement, we are able to leverage our collective strengths and resources, supporting initiatives that make a meaningful and lasting impact on communities.
Community Enrichment
Thriving communities depend on the social and economic well-being of every individual. We support initiatives that expand access to affordable housing, empower youth, promote arts and culture, enhance safety, and provide vital resources—helping people flourish and contribute meaningfully to society.
Environment
Protecting the environment starts with everyday choices, such as using resources more efficiently and respecting our world’s most ecologically important habitats. We invest resources in efforts that contribute long-term value by improving resource conservation, air and water quality, environmental education and recycling.
